Pastor's Note, September 10, 2017

the victims of Huricane Harvey. I am sure that many of us have already contributed to various organizations to help with the immediate needs connected with this storm. In any situation, such as this, there are immediate, mid-term and long-term needs. One of the things which happens is that after the first instant response our attention shifts to something else. It is important to have the resources available for the longer term. There will be envelopes in the pews marked for this collection. Let me conclude by mentioning that these funds will be dispersed by Catholic Relief Services. Whenever charitable organizations are ranked according to their effectiveness, Catholic Relief Serivces is always at or near the top. We can be confident that our contributions will be used well.
